Which of these two Lenovo Ideapad models offers the better value in Canada?
I'm searching for a 15 inch display laptop ideal for note-taking, web browsing, and multimedia (like Netflix or YouTube), with minimal fan noise. The Lenovo Ideapad seems to fit my requirements. I discovered two models and want to compare their value.
First choice:
Lenovo Ideapad 3
Price: $699.00 CAD
Details: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 12GB DDR4, 512GB SSD
Second choice:
Lenovo Ideapad 5
Price: $794.99 CAD
Details: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Ideapad 3 is roughly $100 cheaper and offers more RAM, but the Ideapad 5 has a stronger CPU. Can the Ideapad 5 be upgraded with additional RAM?
Both models can be enhanced with additional memory. Still, I believe the Ideapad 5 offers superior performance.
